From May 16th to 18th, the National Diesel Dirt and Turf Expo (DDT), the largest construction machinery expo in Australia, opened in Sydney. With the theme of “WEARE ONE”, Weichai Power, Sinotruk and Shantui, subsidiaries of Shandong Heavy Industry, took advantage of their synergy and formed a luxurious lineup to launch a hard-core attack. As China’s leading enterprises, they focused on the development trend of high-end, intelligent and green development in the industry, and concentrated on displaying advanced products and core components covering agriculture, forestry, mining, road construction, municipal engineering, new energy applications and other fields, demonstrating the exquisite craftsmanship and strong strength of Chinese construction machinery products, which aroused strong attention in the industry and won wide recognition from international customers.
Intelligent interpretation of green power and full-scenario exhibit matrix, Shantui makes construction easier
On the first day of the opening, the atmosphere at the Shantui exhibition area was warm, and many star products attracted customers to stop and pay attention. In view of the characteristics of the Australian market and the harsh and complex construction environment of mines, the SE335LC excavator has industry-leading technology and performance, and is a “all-round earthwork and stone fighter” with high efficiency, high configuration and low fuel consumption. The L76-C5 loader is equipped with Weichai WP10H engine and DANA heavy-duty mining gearbox, with excellent fuel consumption performance, standard 5-cubic-meter gravel bucket, over 220KN traction force, and can easily adapt to various medium and heavy-duty working conditions such as metal mines, ports, and coal. At the same time, core components and mining chassis parts were exhibited, further strengthening Shantui’s technical advantages in the mining field.
In order to meet the needs of precision, efficiency and comfort in the Australian municipal construction field, the DH16-B3 crawler bulldozer is equipped with a unique 3D assisted automatic leveling technology, which significantly improves the construction accuracy and efficiency, ensures the flatness and stability during the operation process, and is equipped with an integral positive pressure and ROPS&FOPS cab to further ensure the safety and comfort of the equipment.
In the field of road construction, Shantui launched a combination of SG21-B6 intelligent grader and SR12-B6 roller, with “intelligent collaboration + scene deep cultivation” as the core, injecting innovative power into the road construction field. From highway subgrade construction to mine road leveling, Shantui products are perfectly adapted to various complex operational needs.
As a representative enterprise in China’s construction machinery industry, Shantui has always been unwavering in using new quality productivity as an engine to promote green innovation. The new energy loader LE20-X5 launched at this exhibition has become the focus of the whole venue. It not only meets Australia’s increasingly stringent environmental regulations, but is also widely used in various scenarios to replace manual operations. It is suitable for warehousing, ranches, municipal administration, small infrastructure and other fields to achieve efficient handling and orderly stacking of goods. Its comprehensive energy consumption is as low as 10kWh, and the cost of use is more than 70% lower than that of traditional fuel models. At the same time, in order to maximize the operating efficiency and endurance of the equipment, LE20-X5 provides a maximum 102kWh battery option, with a comprehensive endurance of 4 to 8 hours, and has the ability to be fully charged in 1 hour, supporting 80kW single-gun charging to ensure efficient operation without power outages.
Co-build, share and win-win, combine integrated solutions, and synergistically empower global customers to leap forward in value
Relying on the strong industrial chain resource advantages, “Weichai Power + Sinotruk” under Shandong Heavy Industry Group and Shantui Co., Ltd. can play the advantages of synergy and chain, and can provide integrated combination solutions for application scenarios such as construction operations, including powerful power generation and logistics transportation solutions, and are committed to providing one-stop services for global customers and creating greater value.
Weichai M series large-cylinder products lead the world’s high-end power
At this exhibition, Weichai brought Baudouin M series 6M33 pump diesel engines and 20M33 large-cylinder generator sets to the exhibition.
At the exhibition site, the 20M33 large-cylinder generator set can be called “high-value and powerful”, with a high-strength alloy steel crankshaft and high overall strength; Weichai’s independent ECU, algorithm optimization, and one-step loading capability; standard large-flow fuel filter, long oil change cycle, and reduced use costs.
The 6M33 pump diesel engine also attracted many customers. The key components of the product have been strictly and fully tested and market verified. They have high strength and high reliability, can adapt to operation in a high temperature environment of 50℃, and have been running for more than 12,000 hours in a mine in Indonesia; the overall system is optimized, and the minimum fuel consumption rate is 187.4g/kWh.
With the advantages of ultra-low fuel consumption, excellent transient sudden performance, ultra-low noise reduction ability, etc., Weichai M series large-cylinder products have been widely used in data centers, petroleum, medical, plateau, railway, field rescue, agriculture and animal husbandry, etc., and the competitiveness of the global high-end power market continues to improve.
China National Heavy Duty Truck’s high-end heavy truck “Australia” stands out and attracts much attention
China National Heavy Duty Truck SitrakG76x4 dump truck has become the new favorite of the exhibition. The power system of the vehicle adopts the MAN technology high-torque, low-fuel consumption MC13 series engine produced by Sinotruk, equipped with Bosch high-pressure common rail injection system, which provides sufficient and stable power for the vehicle under any working conditions. Euro 5 emission standards and nitrogen oxide post-treatment controller and urea injection type SCR catalytic converter are suitable for the high-end market’s high-efficiency and low-emission requirements.
In addition, Sinotruk and its dealers exhibited 7 Australian main-selling models, which are tailored for the Australian market and have created a new generation of products that meet local strict standards and diversified needs, with high efficiency and high reliability. Shandeka’s second-generation intelligent traction trucks C7H and C9H are equipped with 540 horsepower Man engine and Weichai 15H 660 horsepower engine respectively. They are developed and calibrated according to Australia’s load requirements and driving habits, covering the main local working conditions; Shandeka G7 Man engine 540 horsepower 8×4 dump truck, HOWO T5G330 horsepower 8×4 dump truck, HOWO T5G330 horsepower 8×4 hook-arm garbage truck meet the market demand for medium and heavy-duty dump trucks and mainstream special vehicles; HOWO T5G330 horsepower 8×4 flatbed truck and HOWO T5G330 horsepower 8×4 mixer truck are all Australia’s main selling configurations.
In 2024, Sinotruk’s heavy-duty truck sales in Australia increased by 83%. In the global high-end market, it will face off against European and American high-end heavy-duty truck giants. With its outstanding product strength, technical support, increasingly excellent brand reputation and marketing services, Sinotruk has started to leverage the high-end market.
With a common goal, we will cross mountains and seas and move forward together. Shandong Heavy Industry has always adhered to customer-centricity, actively promoted the development of intelligent and green industries, and is committed to providing efficient, environmentally friendly and intelligent construction solutions for the global market.
